The sensor is ATEX approved to Ex II 1GD EEx ia IIC T4 Ex iaD 20 T135°C (Ta = -40°C to +80°C).  This designates the sensor as belonging to; Group II: suitable for all areas except mining, Category 1 GD: can be used in areas with continuous, long or frequent periods of exposure to hazardous gas (Zones 2 to 0) and dust (Zone 20).

Gas:

Protection class ia, denotes intrinsically safe for all zones.

Apparatus group IIC: suitable for IIA, IIB and IIC

explosive gases.

Temperature class T4: maximum sensor surface

temperature under fault conditions 135°C.

Dust:

T135°C: maximum sensor surface temperature under

fault conditions 135°C.

Ambient temperature range extended to -40°C to

+80°C.

Intrinsically safe sensors must be used with a galvanically isolated barrier with safety parameters not exceeding:- Ui: 11.4V, Ii: 0.46A, Pi: 0.51W.  Sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 150m maximum from the barrier, capacitance and inductance can be up to:- Capacitance: 550 nF max, Inductance: 99 μH max.

Approved barriers are available from Positek; there is a

choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs. The sensor is calibrated to suit the selected barrier transmission output.
